The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Lanvin's Arpège is a fragrance that has stood as an emblem of French elegance since its inception. This composition opens with a bright burst of bergamot and ylang-ylang, creating a sense of fresh vibrancy that soon gives way to a heart of jasmine and rose. The base notes of patchouli and sandalwood provide warmth and depth, grounding the fragrance in a lasting sophistication. Arpège is neither overly sweet nor heavy, striking a delicate balance between freshness and richness.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a subtle yet lasting effect. The bergamot and ylang-ylang will fade within the first hour but the base notes will continue to develop throughout the day, making it ideal for daytime wear.
